Rock'n'roll for everyone!
This is hands down one of the best apps for guitarist, especially for beginners. There’s people out there who have taken the time to create the tones of some of your favorite artists to perfection. This helps tremendously when learning new styles and covers. Being able to play a song in its original tone has helped me learn songs without even looking for a tab. It makes that much of a difference. I want to recommend to people who have had latency issues with Bluetooth on ios to invest in the camera connection kit and an audio interface. I use my audio interface with my ipad or iphone using this kit. Specifically a Scarlett 2i4 version 2. I have had zero issues connecting and have only had a few annoying app crashes which I’m sure will only get better with time. Using an interface allows me to play through my monitors and a next to nothing latency. The most frustrating thing in the world in music is latency and timing, this fixed that issue for me. Also, the ability to use this app in garage band is incredibly useful. I use a clean amp setting in garage band and use Tonebridge to cover the rest. It sounds very impressive. To call this app useful and fun would be an understatement. AAA App for Guitarists, definitely a must have in your app collection. Very easy to use, I absolutely love it. 🙌
Developer Response
Thanks for kind words! 😇
#1 but please update Top of the Week list weekly.
Brucelk8810
I don’t want this to be taken the wrong way, so let me start by stating, this is the best app in the entire AppStore and I don’t just mean the best guitar App. With that said please update the top of the week list it hasn’t been updated in like a year let alone a week. It is an awesome quick-find feature. The only other thing Which I’m not even sure you could do anything about is the all over the place volumes from different song choices. I mean I get that I high gain type song is louder than an acoustic song but if We have our phone’s volume set and we switch from a mellow song to EVH song without touching our ears will get blown out especially with headphones or wake the neighbors in apartment lol. Basically A steady volume across the board then adjust from pedal if they want to turn up not have to change phones volume for each song cuz it is drastically different from song to song. So there’s too many volume controls from guitar itself to the phone’s volume to the pedalboard itself to then each pedal/amp within each said pedalboard and then volume of the headphones/auxiliary in(Amp, iHome, Cab) speaker you chose to play through. If that makes any sense. That’s all. Otherwise be 5stars for me instead of 4. But no other guitar app even gets a 4 from me so you guys got it right and I appreciate this app very much and it has been so helpful and allowed me to experiment with thousands of dollars in sounds with my iPhone and a $13 Irig n some headphones which is all that is required. Thanks again
Nice having effects for practice

Nice having the guitar effects and rigs for practice set up. Glad that the app is free for users to share rig set ups with other users and not try to profit off user to user content. My main complaint however is Tabs and Tonebridge don’t work together like they used to. If I have a song selected in Tonebridge and hit “open tabs”, nothing happens. My iPad or iPhone just open “Tabs” and everything just stays on whatever screen I was already on in “Tabs” when it used to open the tabs for whatever pedal I selected in “Tonebridge”. The same goes for “Tabs”. If in the Tabs app, I hit “Tonebridge” which is an option on the Official tab of a song, I get a small screen within the app that shows most of what “Tonebridge” will show yet nothing happens. Effects don’t change at all in “Tonebridge” and I have to change effects manually by opening “Tonebridge” and search and select that pedal for the song manually. In short, the two apps don’t communicate with each other at all. For “Tabs”, I’m paying for the Pro and Official tabs annually so I feel this small feature should work seamlessly.
Phenomenal App!

This app is perfect for people like myself who want to get awesome tones but don’t have the money to buy pedals. I use this app daily and I’m extremely pleased with the selection of presets, the ability to see tabs with the tap of a button, I can save my favorites, edit presets how I like them, and even (attempt) to make my own. This app has provided hours of endless fun for me, so for anyone out there who wants to get the most out of their guitar on a budget, get an iRig 2 (or other device like it), and get Tonebridge. I can’t explain how much fun this app is! To the developer, your app is honestly the best thing I’ve gotten since my guitar itself. Without it, I probably wouldn’t play guitar nearly as much or have as much fun without these tones. Thanks so much, keep it up with the improvements!
Bug fixes and improvements.
